Coffee

As much as I love the autumn season, back home in Florida we still have the air conditioning cranked and we’re just pretending it is fall by decorating everything in orange. Forget pumpkin spice lattes, we’re still sipping iced coffee and fighting off hurricanes and tropical storms. And while I love the idea of pumpkin spice, all…

With our combined love for the outdoors and delicious food finds, San Francisco feels like our spirit animal. There’s such an exciting entrepreneurial vibe and always something new to discover, but there are also few classics you just can’t miss. Pete and I have been to San Francisco several times now on business trips and…

What do you get when you combine two of my favorite things? Nutella recipes that also use coffee! The chocolate-y hazelnut goodness Nutella with coffee is a winning combination, and you’ll love this amazing dessert-worthy coffee drink recipe — a Nutella Macchiato. In honor of World Nutella Day (yes, this holiday really does exist and…

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted was in Cape Town, and this iced coffee cocktail is a delicious reminder of the creative coffee drinks I sipped while visiting South Africa. There’s a liquor from South Africa made from the marula fruit. Legend has it, elephants would eat this fruit and get a little…

If you follow me on social media, you know I have an obsession with coffee. Perhaps it’s just being perpetually jet-lagged, or perhaps it’s just the lure of a steamy comforting cup of something that tastes dreamy like chocolate without the calories — I’m hooked. Where ever I travel, I’m always hunting down the best coffee shops…

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. When I’m back home in Orlando, Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen is where I like to hang out and write. The coffee is perfectly roasted and has a comforting nutty aroma and flavor. There’s a beautiful European style courtyard with a brick patio and water fountain bubbling in…

Pete and I just returned home from our road trip around Nova Scotia and the first recipe I can’t wait to share is one for Nova Scotia Oatcakes. These are actually popular throughout all the maritime provinces in Canada and are a nod back to the region’s Scottish roots. Oatcakes are crisp like a shortbread…

During my around-the-world trip with the Four Seasons, our tour was coming to an end and I had just a day to explore the city of Budapest. Now, Budapest possesses some of the best coffee houses in Europe and with the gray skies and November chill in the air there is nothing else I wanted…

Coffee is pretty much ingrained in the culture here in Italy and I’ve been fascinated by the different styles offered of my favorite beverage. First of all, Starbucks has it all wrong. It’s “piccolo, medio, and grande” instead of Tall, Grande, and Venti. And really, I haven’t seen anything offered that is bigger than a…

Are you a coffee fanatic? I know I am! If you follow my tweets or Facebook posts regularly, I’m sure you know how much I appreciate a perfectly made cappuccino from all the pics I post. Some are unusual or exotic locations … some are as mundane as my car. I think the most unusual…

“Coffee is the best thing to douse the sunrise with.” ~Terri Guillemets It’s no secret that I love coffee as I probably post about my “morning cup” or “afternoon pick-me-up” way too often on Twitter and Facebook. I find it fascinating to try different types of coffee when I travel and these happen to be…

There’s nothing I love more than coffee, except maybe a biscotti with my coffee. Well … then there is coffee gelato with biscotti. Biscotti is actually short for “biscotti di Prato” meaning a twice-baked cake from the Italian city of Prato. While I’ve never been to Prato, if their claim to fame is biscotti and…
